My biggest shock is that frank Sinatra was not on the list his voice is so iconic
It’s clearly American-centric and catering towards black singers.
Andrea Bocelli not even making the list shows that they didn’t even attempt to find surface-level singers outside of the US and UK.
Legit idk what these “experts” at Rolling Stones were thinking
Yh i was also thinking Why was he not on here?
Was just about to comment this
@@dbell1894 yeah, he’s top 100 easy. I’d probably put him top 40
I love how he adds Jonas and August in every video nowadays
perfect addition and synergy
Yeah i do too but its getting kinda boring because there all very picky with music they react too roomie needs to do resctions with other people besides jonas and august
They are streaming on twitch while recording iirc
but they wouldn't be complete without those two anymore lmao
@@DaVlogAndGamer Joel’s the picky one , august is the best he has amazing taste in music
Some painful omissions even by Rolling Stones standards, Frank Sinatra, Righteous Brothers, Bon Scott or Brian Johnson, Eric Clapton, Billy Joel, Ozzy, Dio, Meatloaf, and most criminal in my opinion, Louis Armstrong. Had a truly iconic voice and should have been on the list.
Michael Jackson at 25 is disgraceful
I agree with Righteous Brothers
In my eyes all of these should have been here and Marty robbins should have been aswell
all of them should be besides the ACDC guys, Dio and Clapton. the rest I totally agree with, ESPECIALLY Frank and Louis.
@@thebasedgodmax1163 dio had such an amazing voice, I dont think ozzy should have been included anyways he has an iconic voice and he created metal but he sounds like he is singing with a blocked nose
Pavarotti. That man could move audience to tears with his voice.
Chester.
True Pavarotti should be on the list
Imagine not putting Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald on the list
Ella Fitzgerald not being here is an actual crime
wheres brian mcknight?
And Diana Ross! Like what?
Eva Cassidy? Sister Rosetta Tharpe?
Frank abused women and also dated teenagers so I’m ok with him not being here
I think these singers might be more iconic than greatest. Not technically the best but recognizable and loved.
It was voted on by a lot of singers. It’s every bit about influence as it is about prowess.
even if the list is for iconic singers, freddie mercury deserves to be higher!
@@woodymonkey1260 Same with MJ
@@ernestryles It was voted on by "experts" not singers. But you are correct, influential and often revered but there was likely no set criteria.
@@woodymonkey1260 Didn’t have a long enough career or enough influence to be higher. There’s a reason the top few are who they are.
I voted for Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury, and Elvis Presley
Good respect for music you got
No Layne Staley automatically devalues them as a rock magazine imo he is a powerhouse.
if yall search youtube for the home demos of BIllie Jean and Beat It from MJ, that really showcases his absolute prowess. Man had those songs almost ready off the top of his head; harmonies, percussion, bass riffs, everything. AND man was the dance community's favourite dancer for the longest time. The perfect performer.
Facts
True! I was lucky to see him live and god damn it was epic.
I AM THE BEEST YOUUTUBER YOU'RE ALL TRAASH COMPARED TO ME IM THE BEEST 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Monsux i never got the chance for Michael or prince
Mike is lip-synching in both clips that are presented for Billie Jean and Man in the Mirror in this video (at the #25 spot)
Every singer is singing live in this video but Michael Jackson is lip-synching in the clips that were selected for him
.....Makes you question if he deseves his spot that high. Great singers don't lip-synch,simple as that. Saying all of this as an MJ fan.
PS:Prince is singing live in his snippets 😏
It'd be interesting if Roomie make his own list of the greatest singers of all time in his own definition of "greatest"
We need to get this comment to the top asap
There's so many definitions of greatest, like technical talent (runs, range, etc.), most influential singers (inspired next generation like Elvis, or music shifts like Colbain), or other definitions.
Even for technical talent you'd have to block all the opera singers(like Pavarotti) or most people wouldn't recognize most of the list, so picking a limited genre could be important.
Ugh, no thanks, he has terrible taste, his list would include Robbie Williams FFS.
Yes please
@@spammalina Agree, a cringeworthy video.
I think Chester Bennington should be here, one of the best vocalist of all time and it's shown in songs such as "Given Up" or "QWERTY"
and james hetfield
He has the largest range pf any rock singers
@@Joshua-kq5hc definitely
So many people sound like Chester Bennington he doesn't have an original voice
@@awkander basically no one has the original voice. lol
Chris Cornell, meatloaf, Matt Bellamy, Eddie vedder, layne Staley, Bruce Dickinson - some of my top choices
Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell for sure
As a Canadian, not seeing Celine Dion on there is truly shocking.
REALLY?! She's #3 on my female vocalists list. She belongs here.
Agreed. Even just as a person who has ears and some knowledge of music, not seeing Celine Dion on here is shocking.
I also was certain that she was going to be at least ON the list. 🤨
As an American, not seeing her is shocking. Of course, Rolling Stone has always sucked, IMO.
She was one of my three guesses too, kinda disappointed
I know or heard about a lot of singers in this list. MJ, Freddie Mercury, Whitney Houston,Mariah Carey deserve to be in top 10.
Frank sinatra too easily
I don't agree with their list, but I have to disagree with you.
" Greatest singers " doesn't mean " Most technical singer " , if that's what it means to you then that's fine.
But great vocal technique is like . . . having great quality tools to work with. It doesn't ensure you'll make a masterpiece, but it can help.
I mean Whitney Houston is one of the most highly regarded singers ever and yet. . . she was outdone by lesser singers all the time. Compare her national anthem to Cher's and you can see that higher technique doesn't guarantee performance or overall skill in performing a piece.
In 2010, Celine Dion was top of the world, biggest selling singer and she isn't on thr list
No.
YES WHITNEY SHOULD BE 1
- Celine D
- Prince N
- Michael J
- Whitney H
- Barba S
- Marvin G
- James B
- Frank S
- Mariah C
- Nina S
- Aretha F
Definitely belong in the top 20 all together
Dude! I finally when to your music and found this gem " IT'S KILL ME". I notice that you do have a great head voice. This particular song frames it well.
where is amy winehouse???? she’s so unique and her voice is UNBELIEVABLE
Well, its kinda old list (around 2010) so i guess its normal that Amy and Adele are missing.
Not even close to Top 100 material.
@@DavidRay39 lmao good joke
@@GeorgeBreadman gotcha, thanks
@@murilomni Unbelieveble???🤣🤣🤣🤣Ok....
Freddie should have been in the top three. He has such an impeccable voice range that blows me away every time I hear him sing.
Yes I argee
Also mj
@@diyakaur4001 absolutely not
@@alistair6439 ur mama
It’s not all about his falsetto but the notes he’s able to hit while using his chest voice is like no other
I love how these videos show Joel, August and Jonas' personalities in relation to music. Awesome video!! It would be interesting to see how they would rank singers.👍👍👏👏🎵🎵
It would be so interesting to see their own versions of this list!!!
The 3 I think should be on the list are obviously Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson, and Celine Dion
I love celine dion
@@thevocalstrinity she's amazing
@@ellaenman4049 but celine is not in this list 😭💔
@@thevocalstrinity I know I thought she should be
I thought Freddie was gonna be in top 10 🥺
- Michael Jackson
- Whitney Houston
- Mariah Carey
- Celine Dion
- Freddie Mercury
- Elvis
- Etta James
- Aretha Franklin
- Barbra Streisand
Some who I what have at least in the top 20
Don't forget Barbra Streisand
@@musicboxerathankyoufor100s2 yes forgot her will add
+ ella fitzgerald
You kind of just picked everyone with the top sales who is in every vocal simp's Top 10 pretty much, minus Etta...
It always really disappoints me that we ONLY seem to think vocal technique matters when talking about " The best singers " because . . . if that's the case how come no one is putting Dimash? --- It's because people have been putting the same people at the top for a long time and putting someone young and new there is controversial despite him having OCTAVES and classical technique over everyone listed.
I'd however never put him because I find his vocal choices gaudy, repulsive, not well chosen, damaging to the pieces he performs because he just wants to show off rather than perform the piece to its greatest standard. He instead looks for every chance to showcase his voice.
but yeah I think there are far more interesting singers than who everyone is listing though I DO love some Aretha and Etta and M.J. and even Mariah sometimes.
Like what about Donna Summer, Shirley Bassey and Kate Bush? What about Ann Wilson and Cyndi Lauper and Cher? MAHALIA JACKSON?!?
I mean Cyndi has a whistle register and matches guitar riffs and has one of the best aged voices I've heard and CHER is the ONLY successful pop alto of all time and made history for having a hit in 6 decades in a row. You hear those women sing and you KNOW it is them.
In 2010, when this article came out, Celine was biggest selling female in entire world, above all these women and most men. She is most skillful vocally still didn't made the list
I love the fact that Rolling Stone included Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston on this list. But I can't believe they left Frank Sinatra, Phil Collins, Olivia Newton-John, Amy Winehouse, Daryl Hall, John Oates, Billy Ocean and Huey Lewis off the list. I'm cool with Aretha Franklin at number 1 tho
As an avid Beatles fan for over 20 years, I'd never list John over Paul in terms of singing abilities. Paul had a wider range and used a lot of different techniques, but I guess John is more iconic.
Paul's voice is gorgeous
John's is just okay
There’s no way that list was in any particular order. Patti Labelle being that low was insane.
thats what i was thinking too
Chris Cornell not being on this list is also insane
Layne is missing too. Unbelievable
MJ TOO
Lol to Bob Dylan being in the top 20. Great songwriter sure but absolutely comically bad singer
MJ is only at 25??! Bruh, that's how you know that Rolling Stone magazine is straight cappin'.
@@kathleenmaclachlan1541 Yeah sure, I'm being silly 🙄
@@kathleenmaclachlan1541 You may not like mj, and that's fine I honestly couldn't care less, but you can't pretend he wasn't talented and that he didn't influence most artists nowadays, when he was VERY talented and was VERY influential.
9:51 Brian Wilson is an incredibly talented singer! he may be more recognized for his song-writing abilities, but he had perfect-pitch and a beautiful voice. I recommend listening to Surf's Up Solo Version.
yes but Carl is the better singer in the band
Bro I haven't watched you for like 2 years and you have a beard and looking great as always
I love Etta James' voice. Gives me big chills every single time
I AM THE BEEST YOUUTUBER YOU'RE ALL TRAASH COMPARED TO ME IM THE BEEST 😂😂😂😂😂😂
She was a babysitter, and happened to be found singing that song to her charges
I think one listen to Mariah Carey's entire 90s run will change y'all's mind on her abilities. She's more than just a Christmas artist. Not to mention her huge commercial success? ICONIC.
It's just strange to me how people are underrating her now. Like HOW? Mariah, Whitney and Céline. There's a reason she is in this top three. Her vocals at the height of her career was flawless. They couldn't believe she sang so well when she dropped her first album. That's how good she was.
@@greatminds1017 She had what, an 8 octive voice plus whistle capability. I remember when she first hit the scene and everyone was floored by her talent.
@@kristie9144 exactly! I grew up with everyone saying she was one of the Best singers ever. She's an international legend.
Roomie actually likes Mariah a lot
@@musicboxerathankyoufor100s2
Tbh i don’t think he truly realizes that she is one of the greatest not just vocally but also as a songwriter he just doesn’t know that much about her especially in her prime i love roomie and i would love if he would truly get to know Mariah
Lately, I was thinking could there be a compilations of unexpected collabs that turns out good or bad? Would a reaction to that be nice... I was 'blown' by hearing ed and Bruno song.. That came to my mind 😆😆
Roomie: ...my favourite magazine about stones that roll, let's go.
Editor: uses a rolling stone as a transition.
Me: was not ready for that! XD
Imagine putting Michael Jackson in #25
Rolling Stone robbing Mike like usual…lmao they literally want Harry Styles to be the „new King of Pop“…
Jackson is lip-synching in the clips showed in this video.
#25 is too high for a lip-synch performance
@@starpixelproduction7571 because he has lung problems which means he can't do it for his voice and he mostly does not lip syncing he uses his voice
@@starpixelproduction7571 he had laryngitis in that time period which was why he couldn't sing live without straining his voice and besides, live vocals or not he'd still give a show worthy of making him the King (which he is)
@@starpixelproduction7571 they could’ve just as easily shown another clip where he wasn’t and he would still deserve to be higher. He’s a very good singer, has proved as much over his very extensive discography and long list of live performances, they just didn’t give him fair representation in this video.
Seems like these artists were picked for their legendary status & what they contributed to the direction of music more so than their vocal abilities.
then why is Freddie Mercury at 18!!??
I mean, it is a “greatest” singers list and not a “most talented/skilled” list. I think they were going for legendary or iconic status as opposed to vocal abilities.
@@hannahkozlovic1715 Thats the thing. Freddie Mercury is a musical icon. So why is he not ranked higher???
@@goldbrickstudios6903 because the makers of this article are dumb
@@goldbrickstudios6903 Oh yeah, I for sure don't agree with the list at all. Freddy is top 3 in my opinion. I made that comment just to address the criticisms of the criteria itself.
My College choir sang back up for the Eagles in 2020. It was so fun.
I would love to see a list of all the three and they compare it.
IMO George Michael should absolutely be considered one of the best singers
Oh yeah, how did he not make it? He should be top 30 if you’re being conservative.
Bro wtf what about rest of the world american and western countries like to pat on their shoulders pathetic you guys can't even beat farmers from Vietnam
I AM THE BEEST YOUUTUBER YOU'RE ALL TRAASH COMPARED TO ME IM THE BEEST 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I agree, his voice is actually really gorgeous. I really hope he’s on the list and if not…that would be so disappointing ✋
A travesty George Michael is not on the list - not just great as a solo vocal artist, but his duets with Aretha Franklin, Mary J Blige, and Elton John were standout.
The entire video was like waiting for your fav iconic singer
You right
Christina Aguilera is awesome! her voice is from another planet.🔥
Don´t joke like this ...
lol
0:09 Mary J. Blige
0:21 Steven Tyler
0:28 Stevie Nicks
0:39 Joe Cocker
0:48 B.B King
I wonder if lil pitchy will manage to show up approximately half way through this list 🤔
I AM THE BEEST YOUUTUBER YOU'RE ALL TRAASH COMPARED TO ME IM THE BEEST 😂😂😂😂😂😂
So many people ahead of Mariah Carey and even Whitney Houston 😮
unbelievable
Well there is more to singing than octave range and pitch and belting, I know. Shocking.
That said this list is weird.
but people need to stop grooming the thought that only the vocal trinity matter and that they're the best singers because that is subjective?
@@iTeacupPanda How Bob Dylan, Kurt Cobain and John Lennon are better VOCALISTS than Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and Whitney Houston?????🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
@@ramonpadilha9987 Girly, are you dense?
The title says " Top 100 Singers of All Time" , it doesn't say " Most technical "
While I still don't AGREE with their choices . . . Let's not pretend the " Vocal Trinity " are the best singers. They're great but let's not pretend they're untouchable.
1. Do you think it's a coincidence that all these " Huge technical vocalists " are attractive women? No, they were SELECTED. People with larger ranges and better technique are out there and HAVE been. They're just not marketable.
2. Your measurement of what a good singer is probably limited to vocal technique and range. That stuff helps but if you don't have magic in those vocal chords you just don't have it. Luckily those women have some.
3. If all you care about is vocals then you'd be asking about singers like Dimash, but you're not despite him having better technique and a larger range? Why? Because he doesn't have that magic.
4. Let's not pretend like the Vocal Trinity hasn't been shown up by lesser singers before, ESPECIALLY Whitney.
@@iTeacupPanda Define a top singer.
as a person growing up in the Detroit area, the first person i said would be on the list is aretha fraknlin, although i didn't know she would be humber one.
It seems the singers picked are the iconic voices of their time and genres.
There’s an updated version of this list you guys should react to. It’s got more modern singers.
Yes please!!
Yes, I think there has been a lot of great singers in more recent years, my top 3 being: Adele, billie elish and arianna grande
Are Brendon Urie and Bruno Mars on it?
@@denisaandreea9983 that’s what I was thinking!
@@denisaandreea9983 no, the list was made in 2008. Neither of them had really cemented their legacies by then.
Sorry but saying Dolly isn’t a technical singer because she doesn’t do vocal runs is just stupid. Her pitch, tone, rhythm, and delivery are impeccable.
Exactly.
@@briannab4037 I was about to comment the same thing: Exactly
I think Joel just doesn’t take country singers seriously, even the good ones. He laughed at most of them when they popped up on this list.
I agree..she is not oversang or overdo. She just singing what she suppose to sing rather than making weird face during the whole song just to show off vocal ability.
@@ivanott7196 Making weird face?
You guys should make a list of songs YOU think are the top 100...
Also.. Reaction to "the neighborhood" would be 🔥
My three were Freddie Mercury, Robert Plant, and Ann Wilson (lead singer from Heart). Honestly shocked Wilson wasn't on there.
I had Elton John, Phil Collins, and Celine Dion on my list. Two were robbed.
Elton was on the list.
Yes where was Phil Collins?!
I had layne Staley
Er NO.
Where is Chester Bennington? He deserves to be on this list
Unfortunately Chester was so underrated when he was alive
I know. He's one of my top 5 rock singers
yes! he's one of my favorite singers of all time
Exactly
Exactly where’s.
Chester Bennington
Justin Hawkins
Ozzy osbkurne
Brendan urie
Patrick stump.
I want to see you 3 compile this list!
i can't believe i didn't see chris cornell here
such an amazing voice
Really wish Joel and Jonas would listen to a LOT more stuff from the 1960s and 1970s......even 1980s. Their lack of knowledge for those decades is disappointing. I give August props for knowing MUCH more of those eras.
Completely agree. They need to expand their knowledge.
Seriously. They didn't recognize CCR or The Who? For shame...
Asking if Ronnie Spector was Phil Spector's wife was....I mean, yes, she was his wife. And Sofia Coppola was Spike Jonze's wife. It's probably the least interesting thing about her.
Agreed; I'm always surprised and disappointed when it happens. That and other genres - they have a limited range they know.
Exactly. Always cringe how vanila them are
Some of my favorite vocalists of all time...
Loreena Mckennitt
Floor Jensen
Layne Stanley
Chris Cornell
Eddie Vedder
Cristina Scabbia
Brent Smith of Shinedown also amazing vocalist!!
Roomie when do you twitch? I just signed up so I can watch these real time
Maybe not a very known one, but if you know who Layne Staley is…..
He had a damn good voice
Layne is a fucking Legend
Yeah
I think the term greatest wasn't necessarily used to describe the best vocal abilities or techniques but the legacy those singers left in the world of music. Also, countdown of 100 greatest singers of all time doesn't necessarily mean ranking them from the least to most important or influential, but merely just naming them in this group. My top five (although very hard to decide) would probably be Whitney Houston, Freddie Mercury, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey and Michael Jackson.
Taylor has an OK voice. She's more of a songwriter. These are her own words.
Yeah, I was thinking this too. Her songwriting is where she really shines.
Talented, and her voice is getting better too
Her vocals are insane aswell! You can really see it when she performs live on tour ❤
@@EmilyAndTheDiamonds13 agreed! even though she's mostly known for her incredible songwriting she still has an amazing voice and is very vocally talented (maybe not to the extent that some singers are, but she still stands out)
@@EmilyAndTheDiamonds13 stop lying she's got so many horrible live performances and her songs aren't even hard to sing to begin with
10:15 very accurate on how Brian Wilson would talk
Lmao, Smokey Robinson higher than Michael. Michael at 10 sang Who’s Loving You by Smokey Robinson and did it much better. Smokey said it
Annie Lenox is actually a really great singer! You can’t tell from sweet dreams, but listen to walking on broken glass or her performance of under pressure with david bowie. She’s incredible!!!
Yes she’s incredible! My favorite is Shining Light.
Yes, love Annie Lennox! Also the lack of Deloris from The Cranberries is shocking. She had such a unique voice!
Yeah, that clip of her definitely did her dirty lol
IIRC, she's classically trained in opera too.
Sweet Dreams glorifies drug abuse. I wouldn't put that song on Top 5 million.
So many icons (including Jonas)
My faves are Stevie Wonder, Prince, MJ, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and Aretha Franklin
Where is Dolores O'Riordan from the Cranberries, one of the best voices.
She sings so angelic like and uses keening, to represent her Irish culture.
What a shame she isn't on the list.
19:45 I knew Elvis Presley would be in the top 5 lol^^
Same
I remember when they released this list. It was pretty much universally panned. Top music critics and fans in general at the time were like "179 experts? In what, because it's certainly not music!" (I'm paraphrasing of course but some of the placements and overall choices are....questionable at best.)
You can't have a greatest singers list without Ann Wilson from Heart... her, Aretha, and Steve Perry were my 3.
lets go i got my three
1.Kurt cob
2.Micheal jackson
3.Freddy Mercury
You guys should do a listen to some of the singers you said you liked but didn't know as a special reaction video. Actually listen to 1-3 songs, not necessarily live performances.
Kind of sad Karen Carpenter was at the 90s-line because she definitely deserves to be on the top in there, somewhere. I've never heard anybody sounding like her after her passing.
She is definitely an aural gift. This list was wack.
Yeah that is sad and even more sad was how they didn’t even say anything about her.
This list is controversial though 😳 Some of the singers that are in the bottom 90-100 should be higher and some should definitely be at the top of the list, maybe ON the list particularly. And the video was made way back 2019 so that says something.
And Mariah Carey should REALLY be higher, because in contrary to what Joel said, she is one of the most influential, iconic female singer of all time.
The only person I think most people will agree on is the person in the number 1 spot.

Do I need to add some more?
As a 46 year old watching this feels like seeing those mega compilation commercials back in the 80s and 90s.
Check out James Taylor.
He's a pretty incredible musician.
Also Paul Simon on his own. Made some great music with and without Garfunkel.
I’ve never trusted Rolling Stone when it comes to music as they mostly just focus on the sales and numbers rather than how good the music actually is.
Roy Orbison was an amazing singer. He had a four octave range.
The clips they picked for him were pretty bad. His performance on "In Dreams" and "Crying" are where his virtuosity becomes apparent.
I very much hope people will loose this "octave range" thinking. Singing is NOT just about range.
Should be in the top 10.
Ye, his voice was almost operatic at times. One of the top five best technical singers on my list for sure.
i played along and got 3 correct but i also happened to choose 2/3 the same as jonas (whitney and aretha)
1:51 finally some love for levon halom and the band. Very underated
It’s almost unbelievable that Billy Joel wasn’t on the list
And mick jagger

How the heck are Mariah and Steve Perry so low? They're iconic voices.
Luther Vandross being number 54 is crazy. You ask any R&B fan who their top 10 singers of all time are, Luther will be number 1 on most of them. Amazing talent.
Jackie Wilson far superior voice.
I really recommend you to listen to the amazing british pop, pop-rock band The Vamps and maybe react to them in some way like listening to their 5th album and the newest "Cherry Blossom" and giving your opinion. And as I also said before their most popular songs that literally everyone knows is "Somebody To You" and "All Night" but they have so many more great songs that I also prefer to the most popular. Hope you see this as last time!!
Well my guesses were
Mariah Carey
Whitney Houston
Freddie Mercury
later i also thought about MJ and Mick Jagger.
Stevie Wonder is a KING!!!
Imo the greatest musician and amazing vocalist
Yea for sure!
I AM THE BEEST YOUUTUBER YOU'RE ALL TRAASH COMPARED TO ME IM THE BEEST 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fr
Yeah! Blind ass king.
Stevie's voice is just so pure.
I love her so much she should have been way higher
I hope that Rolling Stones specified, when they published this list, that it was top 100 singers of the 20th century, english speaking (basically American or British, though there are some Irish, I think) and of very specific genres.
*Rolling Stone's lists were always weird in terms of positions in the ranks.*
But I like they included lots of rare artists in it.
Finding out this list came out in 2010 makes a lot of sense because I was like where the hell are some of the modern powerhouses like Adele, Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande, Jennifer Hudson, Cynthia Erivo, etc. If you're basing this purely on vocal talent, they deserve those spots WAY more than many of the people who were included (even if some of the listed people do have legend status).
But still. How about Ella Fitzgerald? Frank Sinatra?
It came out in 2008.
Also Demi Lovato has left next to no impact on pop culture. Cynthia Erivo is mostly known for her work in theater. Neither of them would be included even if this was made today, and rightly so.
I haven't watched Roomie for a while, what with the serial killer moustache look lol
I think some of these singers are on this list not only for voice but also for being icons and musicians peoples look up to
I played as well and guessed Robert Plant, Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury. Probably the safest options but whatever.
Hey Joel, just want to say: You're doing great today man. Amazing job, you deserve it all. 😊❤
Awesome singers but wt bleep what about Tom Jones and what about Rob Halford and The One and only Ozzy Ozbourne and Klaus Meine maybe an honourable mention list is in order but totally agree with your comments on this list. You guys rock and appreciate your channel
How the hell was Freddie Mercury not top 10 on this list?
please do another most monthly listeners on Spotify because it has really changed thx
I'll come back to this list to learn more about some artists I liked 😊, although I can't believe they didn't include Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell 🤨
Re: Bjork Due to her style of singing (intentionally singing notes you do not expect) it is easy to not enjoy her on first listen, but she really grows on you the more you listen. Once you start anticipating the notes it starts sounding amazing. At least that was my experience
Also this list is arbitrary AF!
I think there are songs she has that are more accessable to those who are mainstream only listeners. " Hyperballad " and " All is Full of Love " for example or a personal favorite of mine " Bachelorette " ?
but I love her.
but yeah this list is odd, but I appreciate it's not just regurgitating the same list where we just follow the trend of kissing the vocal trinity's ass and pretending that vocal technique is ALL that matters in making a great singer.
Vocal standard based on music theory that was theorized and developed from CLASSICAL MUSIC didn't have a place in Jazz, folk or rock in their birth? Why should we force it to now? Singers who have a range and technique aren't instantly untouchable for me.
Bjork is my favorite Female singer, but she does have some horrible songs. :P
@@SveinJohnnyFedje When you're playing with bending the laws of music the way she does you're definitely bound to have some bad ones. It's a given.
Ye, Bjork is an acquired taste for sure.
see. at the very begeening, perhaps if you enter with a chest resonance, and gradually motion to the range that the song guides you to.
Frank Sinatra, Celine Dion and Lionel Richie
Say what you will, but they are all most definitely singers of all time.
They are certainly 100 artists!
this is definitely a list of people
They are certainly singers within a time frame
Can you do a top 100 by monthly listnets
You should do a video on Tom Waits
